Castaway Resolution

Surviving crash-landings and monsters and island-eaters was only the beginning!The Kimei family and the second group of castaways, led by Sergeant Campbell, had finally joined forces after both had been forced to land on the bizarre planet Lincoln, whose "continents" were huge floating coral colonies, inhabited by even stranger lifeforms. They had survived crash-landings and venom-filled bites and disease, their own despair, and even the destruction - and consumption! - of one of their floating islands, and had learned to live, even prosper, in their strange new home.Far away, Lieutenat Susan Fisher slowly pieces together the mystery of what happened to the starship Outward Initiative . . . and begins to believe that - just possibly - some of the survivors might have escaped to a mysteriously unsuspected star system.But even her preparations and the resourcefulness of the castaways may not be enough . . . for Lincoln has far worse in store.Praise for previous books in this series:"[F]ast-paced sci-fi espionage thriller . . . light in tone and hard on science . . ." -Publishers Weekly on Boundary"The whole crew from Flint and Spoor's Boundary are back. . . . Tensions run high throughout the Ceres mission . . . a fine choice for any collection." -Publishers Weekly on Threshold"[P]aleontology, engineering, and space flight, puzzles in linguistics, biology, physics, and evolution further the story, as well as wacky humor, academic rivalries, and even some sweet romances." -School Library Journal on Boundary.…
